“Blind” is the breakthrough single from Korn’s 1994 debut album — emblematic of the nascente nu-metal scene. The track opens with a haunting, ambient guitar figure and builds into a heavy, aggressive sound with down-tuned guitars, syncopated rhythms, and raw vocal intensity by Jonathan Davis, blending elements of metal, alternative rock, and hip-hop–influenced grooves. Its lyrics explore themes of alienation, inner turmoil, and emotional pain, resonating with a generation of disenchanted youth. Released as the second single from the album, “Blind” became a cult anthem and laid the foundation for Korn’s career, influencing the direction of heavy music through the 1990s and early 2000s. The song’s gritty production, dark atmosphere, and cathartic energy have made it a lasting classic in the metal genre.
